The volumes found in the University Library in Poznan from the Grimm brothers' private book collection, considered lost since the end of the Second World War, may significantly contribute to the growth of contemporary Grimm studies and give hope that the BUP's collection also contains further items - considered lost - from the private library of Jacob and Wilhelm.
The books contain handwritten notes that could reveal how the brothers chose themes for stories like 'Hansel and Gretel' and 'Rumpelstiltskin.'
The notes are valuable for research into the Grimms' legacy, as they can give insight into their working method and choice of themes.
